The snow holds no cold
The darkness
no longer haunting
The fire so much less a temptation

I bath in the fall of water
I wash with words of your heart
Seeing through the light of a happier life
Wrapping my body in a cloak of your protection
I leave the water knowing
you are with me
and have cleansed me

As snow begins to fall
I raise my face to greet
the cycle of life
as it melts on my cheek
Knowing if winter can feel this good
spring just may make me weep with the joy
and gratitude
of knowing you

at first I thought this would be sad but the ending was perfect!

I thought to myself that you could not be talking about Florida...but then I remembered the two times we had snow, though it wasn't really enough to even have a good snowball fight *grin*

and it certainly was a heap of metal...and
depending upon where it was heaped....one
could be inspired to either scream or jump
for joy....

I remember her well....

Thanx Susan,  a very good write you have here.
